The 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Program) organization – which has been overseeing the specifications and standards for cellular technologies from the early days – last month nailed down the latest iteration for 5G, dubbed Release 16.
Why is it Important? The update includes some key enhancements that will offer consumers improved data rates and better coverage, higher reliability, and for the operators, potentially new markets for 5G communications. The Release was delayed by a few months, primarily as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic.
What is New in Release 16
Arguably the most important new concept that Release 16 brings to the 5G scene is 5G NR-U – the emphasis being on the "U," which refers to the unlicensed spectrum involved.
